Confidence.  As human beings we think about confidence often.  We’re naturally attracted to or inspired by those who naturally exude this trait, yet can very quickly lose confidence in the person we should admire the most – ourselves.
 
We discussed the challenges new or young actors in particular experience as they begin their careers, and confidence was an area our guests saw people struggle with time and time again.  Former TJ Hooker star Adrian Zmed highlighted the need to keep perspective.  For actors, he explained it’s important to remember if you didn’t get the role you wanted, it’s not because you did badly – it’s because you just weren’t right for the part.
 
This is an often an area where acting coaches can help – keeping their clients grounded, on track, and focused on moving ahead.
 

•  How do you keep self doubt from dragging your confidence down?
•  If you’re an acting coach, what would you say to young actors who may doubt themselves at times?
•  For our executive and life coaches out there, tell us how you’ve helped clients rebuild their confidence.

Please feel free to comment, We’d love to hear your thoughts!
